King’s Cross Counseling Christian Depth Psychology

While Pilate was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent him this message:
“Have nothing to do with that innocent man,
for I have suffered terribly in a dream today because of Him.”

Matthew 27:19

It’s such an odd detail, provided only in the Gospel of Matthew.

Claudia (Pontius Pilate’s wife) has a nightmare--
A nightmare about “that innocent man” who is about to be crucified.
She suffers terribly in her dream about Him.Meanwhile, in Gethsemane …
Jesus, in anguish, prays that “this cup might pass from me.”
Claudia, in anguish, tries to protect Him.
But Jesus had foretold that“the Son of Man must suffer.”

Suffering …

We allwish to escape it, and relief is always a goal of psychotherapy.

But dare we view those who suffer as failing or falling short?

Dare we deny suffering’svalue, message, or meaning?

Treatment

Imagine Claudia being referred for“treatment” of her nightmare.Would she be …
Prescribed medication to prevent them?
Offered relaxation, meditation, cognitive restructuring, sleep hygiene?
Taught to erect a boundary between herself and Pilate’s politics?
Assessed for traumatic history and offered trauma-informed care?
Called a “treatment failure” if her anguish over the crucifixion continued?

Dignifying Suffering

Why not take Claudia’s suffering seriously, as she herself did?

Claudia saw her dream as an encounter with “that innocent man.”

What if Claudia were chosen, if her dream were a gift …

What if Claudia was permitted to suffer with Christ.

When we suffer and search for support, what exactly are wesearching for?

What is Christian Depth Psychology?

Christian Depth Psychology

King Lear                  Doth any here know me?  This is not Lear …  (Crown?)

Who is it that can tell me who I am?

Fool                            Lear’s shadow.                                                            (Motley cap?)
……….

Earl of Kent              This is not altogether fool, my lord. 

  • Shakespeare, King Lear

One can sometimes feela mere shadow of oneself.

But one can sometimes discover oneself in one’s shadow.

And both can be true at the same time.

Shakespeare created the role ofFool to speak difficult truths.

The Fool is more loyal to King Lear than any other character –

except for Lear’shonestdaughter, Cordelia,

whom Lear rejects for refusing to flatter him.

Alas, in real life wehave no Shakespearean “Fool” to help us.

What is Christian Depth Psychology?

Let no man deceive himself.  If any man among you seems wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. (Paul, I Corinthians 3:18)

Depthpsychologyrefers to idea that there are alwayscrucial things we don’t yet know about ourselves.  Our suffering often baffles us.

Christian depthpsychology refers to the idea that “Christ in you” (Colossians 1:27) and “His Spirit in our hearts” (2 Corinthians 1:22) cantransform us through suffering(Romans 8:17, James 1:4)— if we cooperate.

Symptoms can be invitations.By allowing ourselves to “become fools” (e.g., not rushing to “make it go away”), we open ourselves tolearning something new about ourselves in an intimate encounter with Christ.

No one else can have your encounter with Christ for you.

My role is to search with you.  And to listen with you.
